Get Involved

Volunteer Today

Hotline Forum Volunteer

What you’ll do:
Respond to anonymous posts submitted by individuals struggling with eating disorders or body image. Your role is to provide thoughtful, non-judgmental support and validate their experiences through written replies. You’ll be trained on tone, ethics, and boundaries using our volunteer guide.

 

Why it matters:
This forum offers a rare space where people can open up without fear of being dismissed. Volunteers help ensure every submission is met with compassion and care.

Recovery Library Volunteer

What you’ll do:

Submit written pieces (personal or others' stories, poetry, reflections, or resource roundups) that support recovery and identity rebuilding. Submissions can be one-time or ongoing. Anonymous and non-anonymous entries are both welcome.

 

Why it matters:

The Recovery Library offers tangible, human insight into what healing looks like from the inside. It’s a space for honest storytelling that encourages readers to keep going.

Hospital Campaign Volunteer

What you’ll do:

Write letters, design affirmation cards, or help collect and assemble care kits to be delivered to eating disorder treatment centers. Volunteers can participate independently or as part of a coordinated local effort.

 

Why it matters:

Many patients in inpatient or residential care never receive outside mail or support. These small items, when thoughtfully made, can have a lasting emotional impact.
